His brother plays at Nebraska. One of his best friends and teammates signed with Nebraska. It made all the sense in the world that Andrus Peat would be a Cornhusker too, right?

Wrong—Peat is heading to Stanford, one of the hottest finishing programs in the nation. He also had seriously considered USC and Florida State.

Peat, the No. 1 overall prospect in the Sporting News Top 125, is a 6-foot-7, 320-pound offensive tackle who has put on a good chunk of muscle weight in the past year. He also is a great basketball player, giving an idea of how he can move when he’s blocking would-be sack artists. His intelligence is a strength, too.

“College coaches have told me that they love my technique in pass protection and especially my kick slide,” Peat told Sporting News. “Also, they like my athletic ability, my quickness, my aggressiveness and my size. I feel like I can do it all at that left tackle position.”
